Text +Data -syb

A time and space-efficient implementation of Unicode text. Suitable for performance critical use, both in terms of large data quantities and high speed.
Note: Read below the synopsis for important notes on the use of this module.
This module is intended to be imported qualified, to avoid name clashes with Prelude functions, e.g.
> import qualified Data.Text as T
To use an extended and very rich family of functions for working with Unicode text (including normalization, regular expressions, non-standard encodings, text breaking, and locales), see the text-icu package: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/text-icu

An efficient packed, immutable Unicode text type (both strict and lazy), with a powerful loop fusion optimization framework.
The Text type represents Unicode character strings, in a time and space-efficient manner. This package provides text processing capabilities that are optimized for performance critical use, both in terms of large data quantities and high speed.
The Text type provides character-encoding, type-safe case conversion via whole-string case conversion functions. It also provides a range of functions for converting Text values to and from ByteStrings, using several standard encodings.
Efficient locale-sensitive support for text IO is also supported.
These modules are intended to be imported qualified, to avoid name clashes with Prelude functions, e.g.
> import qualified Data.Text as T

Version 1.0.0.0

Haskell bindings to the International Components for Unicode (ICU) libraries. These libraries provide robust and full-featured Unicode services on a wide variety of platforms.
Features include:
* Both pure and impure bindings, to allow for fine control over efficiency and ease of use.
* Breaking of strings on character, word, sentence, and line boundaries.
* Access to the Unicode Character Database (UCD) of character metadata.
* String collation functions, for locales where the conventions for lexicographic ordering differ from the simple numeric ordering of character codes.
* Character set conversion functions, allowing conversion between Unicode and over 220 character encodings.
* Unicode normalization. (When implementations keep strings in a normalized form, they can be assured that equivalent strings have a unique binary representation.)
* Regular expression search and replace.
